T-Post are a very cool t-shirt subscription company (you give them money and they send you a tee every month, this sounds scary, but their tees are usually really good) from Sweden. They’ve teamed up with British (right?) tee blog Buy Tees to give away three 3-month subscriptions to their service. All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is answer a simple question (and there’s a clue in the BT post about where to find the answer) and you’ll be eligible. The closing date for entries would appear to be November 29th, so you’ve still got a few days to get your entry in.
Thanks to all the people that entered the competition, I was worried that loads of you would guess the correct answer and I’d have to think up a tie-breaker question, but fortunately only one person guessed the correct amount. You’ll have to watch the video (which includes what I believe is the first time you guys have heard me speak on HYA, and yes, I hate the way I say ‘fourteen’ as well) to find out how many tees were chucked at me, if you were the winner, and also to wonder why I insist on wearing odd hats in videos.
I had fun doing the vids, so there might be more in the future if you guys liked them, and if I can think up something similarly silly to video.

This one’s probably the most open-ended contest that Threadless has ever run (apart from the regular contest… obviously), because its theme is just ‘Travel’. The winner gets sent to Iceland which is really cool, even if that country is probably about to go bankrupt.
Community-centric tee shirt company Threadless.com is proposing its design community to describe their taste for adventure in its latest “Threadless Loves Travel” challenge. Whether a tropical getaway, a trip to space, a road trip across the country, or even a walk to the kitchen, designers are asked to bring their stories of continent-hopping and deepest travel desires to life.
The fun doesn’t stop there. Sponsors for the Threadless Loves Travel challenge have made it possible for the creator of the chosen design to actually fulfill his or her dreams of travel. Icelandair, action sports accessories company Dakine, IES Abroad (Institute for the International Education of Students), and even the band Calexico, are each making it possible for the best design to take to the skies in style. The creator of the winning design will receive a bounty of traveling goodies including two round-trip tickets to Iceland on Icelandair, a $1k credit to a travel site of his or her choosing, courtesy of IES, a Dakine Split Roller 90 Travel Bag, and a personalized song, written by Calexico, inspired by the winning design.
“Threadless Loves” challenges give designers an opportunity to flex their skills and design to a particular challenge. Challenges are sponsored and supported by companies relevant to the idea. Previous “Loves” partners include Hot Chip, Moby, MTV’s Human Giant, and the Lomographic Society International.
As always, designers will also receive a $500 Threadless gift certificate and $2,000 in cash!
Deadline for entries is October 22, 2008. For more info on the design challenge and all its partners, hit the links below:

Just a quick note to tell you that the “Tell Andy where to go in Philadelphia” contest has now closed. I was really impressed with the entries, I think I’m going to have a pretty fun time by the looks of it, although you guys clearly have little regard for my health judging by the amount of recommendations for me to stuff my face with cheesesteaks.
I’ll assign all entrants a number and then use a random number generator to pick the winner of the main $50 gift certificate and Animals With Eyepatches t-shirt, courtesy of Threadless Select. I’ll read through them all again and decide which is my favourite entry and award them the second prize of a $25 Threadless gift certificate. Hopefully I’ll post the winners some time tomorrow.
Just a quick note to remind you that there’s just one day left to enter the ‘Tell Andy where to go and win a $50 Threadless Gift certificate and T-shirt’ contest.
All you have to do is leave a comment on the contest post and you’ll be entered into the random draw. The best comment, as [...]
I don’t know why I cover LaFraise’s weekly releases when I don’t do the same for Threadless or Design By Humans, or the rest of the myriad of design competitions out there, I guess its because no one else really touches laFraise, probably because they’re still stubbornly ignoring American shoppers (the laFraise US store isn’t [...]
I know that Threadless‘ recent sale gave you guys a great opportunity to grab some cheap tees, but who fancies picking up some free tees using a $50 gift certificate?
As I mentioned in a post yesterday, hopefully I will be moving to Philadelphia soon for an internship. I don’t really know very much about Philadelphia, [...]
When I heard that there was such a thing as ‘International T-shirt Day’, I thought two things “what the hell is this?” and “it must be a publicity stunt.” Spreadshirt own the domain (hurrah for whois!), so it could be some kind of publicity stunt, and probably not a ‘real’ international day, like Christmas or [...]
Springleap is (yet) another design competition, excpet this one is from South Africa (I don’t think we’ve ever had an SA company on HYA before). You know the deal, tee designs get submitted, voted on (that starts April 1st on SL), and eventually winning designs are printed and sold (which should happen at SL in [...]
